Background And Purpose: This study was conducted to develop and pilot test a Korean version of the Family Attitude Scale (FAS).
Methods: We developed the Korean FAS using the translation/back-translation method. Two English monolinguals assessed its translation validity by comparing the original with a back-translated English version. Translation equivalence of the FAS and the refined Korean FAS was evaluated in a convenience sample of 56 bilingual Korean college students.
Results: The internal consistency of the Korean FAS and the FAS was 0.96 and 0.76, respectively. Mean scores on the two versions did not differ (t = -0.14, p = 0.89). The test-retest correlation coefficient was 0.37 (p < .001).
Conclusions: Although the Korean FAS needs further refinement and psychometric testing, it was translated to reflect the original version and was a reliable instrument for the Korean population.

Challenge of Precautionary Allergen Labeling for Ensuring the Safety of Children With Food Allergies.
J Korean Med Sci
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Ajou University School of Medicine, Suwon, Korea.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of Precautionary Allergen Labeling (PAL) in baby food products in Korea, finding that it is present in 91.8% of items but only validated in 16.7% of cases.
- ELISA tests revealed minimal contamination from cow’s milk, while no hen's egg white was detected, indicating possible gaps in safety.
- Surveys showed that guardians, especially those with children having food allergies, are dissatisfied with current PAL practices and prefer clearer, more informative labeling, suggesting a need for a comprehensive revision to improve safety.
Ingenol-3-Angelate Enhances the B Cell Inhibitory Potential of Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Leading to Marked Alleviation of Lupus Symptoms in MRL. Mice.
Int J Mol Sci

College of Pharmacy, Chungbuk National University, Chungbuk 28160, Republic of Korea.
Article Synopsis
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease where hyper-activated B cells produce autoantibodies, causing symptoms.
- Research found that naïve mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) inhibit T cell activity but not B cell IgM production, leading to a study on how to enhance MSC function.
- Treatment with ingenol-3-angelate (I3A) primes MSCs to inhibit B cells through the secretion of TGF-β1, showing improved effectiveness in alleviating SLE symptoms in mice.
Comprehensive comparative evaluation of the eight pediatric estimated glomerular filtration rate equations in a large Korean pediatric patient cohort.
Heliyon
November 2024
Department of Laboratory Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
Introduction: Although estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are continuously developed for pediatric population, impact of height measurement is often neglected due to variable dynamic growth changes in children. This study aimed to compare differential impacts of eGFR values calculated by six equations that do not use height information.
Materials And Methods: 3503 Korean pediatric patients with creatinine/cystatin C assay-based laboratory results from 2008 to 2021 were analyzed for clinical course using a total of 8113 laboratory test results.
Mill Induces Anti-Obesity and Anti-Diabetic Effects In Vitro and In Vivo.
Int J Mol Sci

College of Korean Medicine, Kyung Hee University, Kyungheedae-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea.
This study investigated the effects of Mill (LCM) extract on obesity and diabetes, using both in vitro and high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity mouse models. We found that LCM notably enhanced glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion in NCI-h716 cells from 411.4 ± 10.

Purpose: Limited knowledge exists regarding the psychosocial characteristics of young Asian children affected by food allergies (FAs) and their caregivers. This study aims to assess the usefulness of the Food Allergy Severity Score (FASS) system in evaluating the risk of emotional impacts on young children and caregivers who are dealing with severe FA.
Methods: Children between 2 and 10 years of age who were diagnosed with FA and following an elimination diet were enrolled in the study.
